EQUIPMENT SPOTLIGHT – Treadmill

Today treadmills are the Main Attraction of the modern gymnasium experience because many just want to go for a walk or slight jog. Our ancestors would cringe at the luxury item they have evolved into. They outrun all their home competition of ellipticals and resistance machines of various kinds. Every Colaw Fitness location has enough treadmills to accommodate the peak for their community. You will not have to wait to climb aboard and catch some free WiFi for your favorite scenery on your device. Maybe you have some plugin earbuds and you can tune in directly to many choices of our landline cable programming.

A treadmill began as a tool in many cultures, as a treadwheel. Devices were created for power sources, food processing, and farming. The nearest ancestor of recreational/health treadmills featured in Joplin gyms throughout was during the late 1960s by William Staub, a mechanical engineer. He created the PaceMaster 600 because he had a dream and home treadmills were born.

During the 1800s, an engineer named William Cubitt designed treadmills to punish prisoners. He reasoned their muscle power could cure idleness and produce work. With the 20th century came the next previous transition of today’s wonder in the technology of walking and fitness. US patent of treadmill “training machine” #1,064,968 was issued on June 17, 1913. The hero of diagnostics in heart and lung disease, today’s treadmill is historic forever as a life-saving device. As humanity grows more tech-savvy and physically docile for income, treadmills are assured to follow us into the future because everyone walks and some don’t want to do it out in the rain.

Now securely into the 21st century, we are taking our treadmills to work. Treadmills at the office and hotel have become the norm more than the exception. Treadmill desks and standing desks are more popular than ever and only sure to grow from here. Joplin gyms have various models and levels of training and fitness available to you. At Colaw Fitness we focus on the general health because the needs provided by treadmills are much needed.

Our treadmills offer speed and terrain settings because that’s one of the ways to get better. You have device charges in each station to charge and listen to your device. You have access to the television dialogue heard all over the gym on our ellipticals and bicycles. We have multiple styles of ellipticals and bicycles to choose from for your fitness comfort level. Medical treadmills have become a class IIb active therapeutic device and we want you to have access to this equipment. Heart monitoring assistance is located within all of these devices, for your convenience.

Treadmills are called the one-size-fits-all because anyone can use them. There is a setting for everyone, no matter your fitness level. Even using mobility assistance. The advantages of treadmill use include an all-weather option for heart health. Treads can be replaced throughout the years as your needs change for home use. Our facilities’ treadmills offer a stable training surface to minimize impact injuries from asphalt and older track settings.

The incline settings assure a complete aerobic workout when physical limitations do not oblige. Our treadmills offer preset options for ease of starting right away. You can choose a flat track simulation or a nice hike in the hills. A tablet is there to help coordinate this journey and away you go. You can see your distance, calories burned and heart rate all in one amazing machine. It is now quite fashionable to track your steps because of rising technology.

Members of all Joplin gyms have pedometers, fitness bands linked to technology or smartphone apps to tell them all the great distances they went today. Some apps can even encourage you with real gift cards because they understand everyone could use a little bit more encouragement. We encourage you through a commitment to your success. #youareworthit isn’t just a phrase we made up for marketing. It’s part of who we are. We are here to make sure you know you are worth it.
